Might want to consider this for your next hard drive purchase. Tried to get a diagnostics program for a Western Digital hard drive that I suspect might be giving me problems. They ONLY have it for the windoz flavors. I don't believe it !!!
I do. WD is the winmodem of ATA drives: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12078

Yes the first version of MDK10 had a habit of destrying WD hard drives, I'm not kidding. We had to swap out a entire production run of drives thanks to mandrake. I tested the new drives with Fedora 1 back in those days and it was fine and then reloaded mandrake and had to swap out some more drives. Turns out w had to change to maxtor.
